Ethereum broke through $4,300 this morning, pushing its market value close to $520 billion, temporarily surpassing Mastercard ($51.91 billion) and Netflix ($51.485 billion), ranking 25th in the global asset market capitalization, entering the core of global capital.
Institutional Funds Continuously Flowing In
Over the past 7 days, Ethereum's price jumped 23%. Ainvest noted that whales accumulated $667 million in Ethereum in early August; Binance Research also tracked that corporate ETH treasury increased by 127% in July, indicating institutions are accelerating the inclusion of Ethereum in long-term asset allocation.
Meanwhile, on-chain data is also strengthening, with Ethereum's daily transaction volume reaching 1.74 million and active addresses exceeding 680,000.
ETH Market Outlook
Most analysts believe that as long as the regulatory framework remains predictable and Ethereum 2.0 scaling progress is not further delayed, its market value is expected to consolidate in the top 25 global assets and continue to challenge upward. The capital market is entering a new stage of "crypto + traditional" integration, with participants expanding from early users to enterprises and governments.
As a market researcher stated:
"This is no longer about whether to accept Block chain, but how to reposition under new rules."
However, volatility remains a reality investors must face. Compared to Bitcoin's market value of approximately $2.36 trillion, Ethereum still has a long way to go, and if the macro environment weakens, the price pullback could be amplified.
